All the work presented in the nearly 500 pages of the monograph covers a wide range of typologies and scales: from a series of rehabilitation works and intervention on the built; to large-scale installations, such as the Porto metro or the intervention in the Tua dam hydroelectric power station; passing by small pavilions buildings such as those in Vilaverde and the Azores; or themes as varied as the crematorium, the cultural centre, the hotel or the multipurpose sports hall.

This enormous diversity is also represented in the variety of the extensive constructive information included in the monograph, which encompasses multiple solutions with different details and materialities.

Eduardo Souto de Moura's public works and equipment have gained in breadth and complexity in recent decades, and while maintaining some of their recognizable invariants, other new elements are added, enriching its already extensive range of solutions.
